Pretty sure 20% of my value as a professional web builder and resident family tech support rep is my ability or willingness to "Google" something. I'm being 100% serious - I attribute most of my tech knowledge simply to my curiosity, and willingness to search out a solution. Many people (including my own kids) are happy to A) not know or B) ask someone else (me).

Don't think this is new either. Before we even had internet access at work people would ask me for help with excel or some other program and the first thing I would do would be to use built in help. Many folks just don't understand how much help a book/helpfile/internet can be.

It's not even unique to IT/software; my ex-girlfriend was a vet an she just googles things as well. Turns out there are lots of veterinary procedures on YouTube for example, and for some of the rarer chirurgies and such you need to do it's pretty useful.
